replied on: 6/10/2005 9:00:02 AM some more info on the chapel Feb 1854 Ilkeston Pioneer Marlpool Heanor – Extinction of the Chapel debt – On Wednesday evening, the 11th inst, a meeting was held in the Congregational Chapel in the above place, to celebrate the liquidation of the debt upon the chapel and schools. The chapel was erected in 1821, and by three successive enlargements will now accommodate 460 adults and 500 children; 400 of whom it has on its books. There is also a large burial ground connected with the place; the entire cost of the premises not having exceeded £1,100. In 1852, there was still a debt of £385, which the friends determined to use every effort to pay off by the end of 1855; the minister, the Rev. E. Leighton, engaged to raise £100 among distant friends; but by the liberality of one gentleman, in giving £25, and the cheerful contributions of Manchester friends, that £100 was so easily secured, that he engaged to get another £100, and the people resolved to pay up their instalments by the end of 1853, instead of 1855. The meeting was proceeded by a tea party of 350 persons, who were regaled principally at the expense of the ladies in the congregation, and who afterwards adjourned to the chapel, where after devotional services, they were addressed by the Rev. T. Clark, A. M. Classical Tutor of Rotherham College; the Rev. T. Mays, of Wigston Magna; T. Colledge, of Riddings; Mr Stewart, of Swanwick; and the Rev. G. Hoatson, of Ilkeston The proceedings of the evening were most cheering, and the speeches of a telling and most practical character; and though heartily congratulating the friends in having gathered such a cause in such a locality, amidst all their difficulties, the different speakers urged the friends at Marlpool to occupy the more populous fields around them, where, it is believed, a great amount of good may be effected.- Nottingham Review.

replied on: 7/3/2005 10:23:55 AM Hi Rich, On 1st July 1838 Rev. Mr Roscoe died (Minister of Mount Zion Chapel Marlpool) he was there for 9 years, the whole of the church members expressed the wish that Mr Roscoe’s remains should be interred "inside" the chapel. The funeral took place on 5th July 1838, the deacons at the time were: Mr. Brentnall (secretary), Mr. Eley, Mr. Smallwood and Mr. Thos Hardy. So was he interred inside or could the coffin be his?

replied on: 7/3/2005 10:38:26 AM Hi, Jenny. That seems a very logical conclusion concerning the burial. But, one contradictory factor stands out against it being Mr. Roscoe, or anyone else who was known and connected with the Church. There are no written Church accounts of the fish shaped coffin burial or its occupant. In such as the above, you would have thought there would be? Azzabuv. |

replied on: 7/11/2005 8:02:38 AM Hi Ice, Mr. Roscoe, Mr. Brentnall Mr. Eley Mr. Smallwood, Mr. Hardy, Mr. Avis were some of the main men at the chapel so far I’ve only found Mr Roscoe being buried at the chapel sometimes you have to go side ways to get back, I think it will remain a mystery.

replied on: 7/15/2005 4:34:31 AM There was a plaque to Mr Hardy in the old chapel, as he set aside a small sum of money as a type of charity. The plaque is now in the possession of the History Society (but is not on display, as we have nowhere to display it!) |

replied on: 7/15/2005 2:27:25 PM THE BRENTNALL: The Brentnalls are also in D plot in the Marlpool cemetery it’s a big tombstone / monument and all four side are inscribed so maybe the Hardy’s stone is similar, I will have a look and take a photo. Jenny |

replied on: 7/24/2005 11:12:21 AM Message from Ice, accidentally deleted: "I was talking to someone who is a regular at the chapel this morning and she said the child they found did belong to one of the ministers who resided there many years ago." Ice So it was a child in the coffin, Ice. But IF there are no Church Records of the burial, HOW does she know for certain? Azzabuv. |
